Situational Awareness Tactics – Spot the Threat

[Talyn]

A basic rule of the self-defense world is that action beats reaction. The bad guy gets to be the actor, and you are stuck being the reactor. The only antidote for that poison is something professionals call the reactionary gap.

Prepare yourself to anticipate them through various situational awareness tactics. So, you can spot threats and defend yourself and those who count on you.

I like how every rag and online site doesnt show the perp to be the methed out or crazed gang banger but an average Joe looking mean. The real threat in most situations is the person who fits the “ profiling”

Those two dudes came at me, I’d throw them doghnuts and Ford Raptor emblems to sidebar them.

It does not matter what they look like for most these days with thier noses in that phone they would not see Frankenstein's monster standing in broad daylight.

Told my wife years ago we are making the easiest prey generation ever. They could be walking along, a van door slide open, they be grabbed, raped and strangled before they realized it enough to look up.

I said this before and I will say it again you cannot teach somebody situational awareness. You cannot decide to increase or decrease your level of situational awareness. You can decide whether a given action (such as varying your route home) is prudent or unnecessary but I don't believe that you can make a conscious decision to be more or less situationally aware in any given situation at least not for any extended period of time.

I've made this analogy before and I'm absolutely convinced it's correct, situational awareness is like a radar detector. The majority of the time your radar detector is sitting on your dashboard doing its thing and you're paying it no attention, until it picks up signal and it beeps.

The majority of the time your "situational awareness" is sitting on your brain's dashboard doing its thing and you're not paying any attention to it until it picks up a signal that your experiences taught you is bad juju.

Ted Bundy was known to would prey on women with a ruse, often wearing his arm in a sling or his leg in a fake cast and walking on crutches. He would then use his charm and faked disability to convince his victims to help him carry books or unload objects from his car. He was also known to impersonate authority figures, such as police officers and firefighters, to gain victims’ trust before he attacked. He would use his charm and faked disability to manipulate his victims and put them at ease. We tell our children that the monsters in fairy tales aren't real, but then they have to learn that there are real monsters who walk among us and look like everyone else.
